00:02Patrick, Battlefield 4's got a beta, what's it all about?
00:05Well, of course we want to give people a sneak peek of what the game is actually all about
00:09and this beta will contain one map, Siege of Shanghai.
00:14So when people take part in the beta, they play the game,
00:16how do you go about turning that feedback and the data you get into tweaking the game before it actually
00:21comes out?
00:22Well, even if we're doing it quite late, we still have the opportunity to do some tweaks
00:26and of course we want to get feedback not only from the beta but also from the actual game when
00:33it's out on the market.
00:34And we have a history of following up with the game for months and months after it's been released.
00:41So to us it's an ongoing service.
00:43Now this beta will be playable on current gen, but obviously we've got next gen looming, it's with us very
00:49soon.
00:50How does that work in terms of getting the playtesting for the current gen
00:54and then moving that forward to apply it to the next gen?
00:57I think that's of course a problem that we cannot solve.
01:01We wish people had next gen consoles earlier because then they could participate in the beta as well.
01:07But in general we are collecting feedback from both the current gen consoles and the PC beta
01:15and applying all that data and information onto the next gen consoles.
01:18And as you said you do support the game once it's out, I mean updates do come in and things
01:22do get tweaked don't they?
01:23Absolutely and the cool thing with the next gen consoles is it's even easier for us to do updates.
01:28So even people won't have to struggle too much to get updates.
01:32We can just push it out to them and make sure that the game is as good as it can
01:35be.
01:36Well that's right because it updates when you're not actually at the console.
01:38So no more switching a console on and going I've got to wait an hour now for a three gig
01:42update.
01:43It happens when you're in bed.
01:44Yeah if you choose to do that then it will do that for you.
01:47So if people want to help DICE make the best game they can how can they get involved in the
01:50beta?
01:51Well of course there's an open beta where everyone can get in and that we want everyone
01:56to participate and give us as much feedback as possible.
01:59But then of course there are several ways one being being a premium member where you can actually
02:03get in earlier and of course we want to give something extra to the people that we find more premium.
02:16of course there's a choice.
02:17We'll get in it with you, K38C.
02:20They will be one of the other people you want to.
02:25And we'll see you next time.
02:25We'll see you next time.
02:25Bye.
02:25Grazie a tutti
